Friends For Lives specialise in suicide intervention.   The team is reinforced by a highly trained Suicide Prevention Specialist and we also provide additional supports and offer Suicide First Aid Training to a wider community.  We provide one to one support for anyone experiencing thoughts of suicide, and we also offer group training at our Friends For Lives Training Centre in Southend.  In our lovely calm therapy rooms we offer safe, welcoming, non-judgemental and completely confidential spaces outside of typical public health and social care services. The people we support are invited to share their thoughts and feelings with highly trained professionals who truly care and who are comfortable talking about suicide.  Our clients feel safe to talk about every aspect of their life and their feelings without the worry of over-intervention.  Giving someone the opportunity to talk about suicide is often all that is needed to take them from a place of isolation and danger to a place of support and safety.
